Let's look at some of the "facts":
--Mary was born without original sin (though this was declared by a Pope).
--Mary conceives a child without getting any.
--Mary is assumed into Heaven without any mention of death.
--Mary was crowned as the Queen of Heaven.
And what about all the various names for her?
--Our Lady of Sorrows
--Mary Queen of the Universe
--Our Lady of Guadalupe
etc. etc.
Catholicism can call it praise all they want. As I see it, it's hero worship...virtual deification.
